Alicia Cheramie Cade, a 42-year-old woman from Springville, Alabama, faces three counts of attempted murder following an incident involving her minor children. According to St. Clair County court records, the event took place on April 14, 2026, at a residence on Archers Cove Way. Investigators allege that Cade intentionally locked herself and her three children inside a running vehicle within a closed garage, attempting to expose them to dangerous and lethal exhaust fumes.
Following the incident, law enforcement officers located and arrested Cade on April 16, 2026. During the arrest, she allegedly struck an officer in the face, leading to additional charges of second-degree assault and resisting arrest. She was initially hit with a first-degree arson charge as well, under allegations that she intentionally started or maintained a fire at the home during the event.
The arson charge was officially dismissed on April 28, 2026, during an Aniah’s Law hearing. However, the state successfully argued to deny bail for the remaining violent offenses. Following a booking update on May 22, 2026, Cade remains incarcerated at the St. Clair County Jail, where she is currently being held with no bond as the legal proceedings move forward.
